7. A partial bond at the beginning of a molecule must refer to the covalent subject

8. Divide ionic compounds at molecule-ends, in accordance with their formation and charge

III. Principles of Chemical Composition

9. Make the molecule the unit of composition: one molecule to each compound

10. As a rule, begin each molecule with a basic element: end it in co-formation with the beginning

11. Use an active catalyst

12. Put structures in positive formations

13. Omit needless elements

14. Avoid a succession of loose electrons

15. Express covalent bonds in similar formations

16. Keep related elements together

17. In chemical substances, keep to one compound

18. Place the memetic elements of a molecule at the end
